J. Paul Lilly Associate Professor Emeritus Department of Soil Science North Carolina State University In order to understand both agriculture and forestry as they are today, I believe we need to know what they have evolved from. Thomas Isern, Professor of History at Emporia State University, wrote that "If you know nothing of agricultural history, then you cannot understand American history." This is just as true of forestry history. In 1790, 93% of the population of the United States was rural, most of them farmers. By 1990, only 200 years later, barely 2% of our population are farmers. The agriculture we have today in the United States is unique. No nation has ever had so few people actively farming. This is a profound social change that has isolated most people from rural life and from an appreciation of the complexities and uncertainties of food production. For the most part people take agricultural production for granted. Our society has had no experience with true food scarcity. Our supermarkets always have full shelves and food is cheap. Today we spend only 10 percent of our income on food. In 1950 we spent 22 percent of our income on food, and in 1935 a moderate income farm family in North Carolina spent 47% of their total living on food. In the past it took much more time and effort to obtain or produce food.

HISTORY of AGRICULTURE A rt, science, and industry of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use. In a broad sense agriculture includes cultivation of the soil, growing and harvesting crops, breeding and raising of livestock, dairying, and forestry (see Animal Husbandry ; Crop Farming ; Dairy Farming ; Forestry ; Poultry Farming ; Soil Management ). Regional and national agriculture are covered in more detail in individual continent and country articles. See also separate articles on the states of Australia and the U.S. and the provinces of Canada. Modern agriculture depends heavily on engineering and technology and on the biological and physical sciences. Irrigation , drainage , conservation (qq.v.), and sanitation (see Engineering: Sanitary Engineering ) each of which is important in successful farming-are some of the fields requiring the specialized knowledge of agricultural engineers. Agricultural chemistry deals with other vital farm problems, such as uses of fertilizer (q.v.), insecticide, and fungicide (see Fungicides; Pest Control), soil makeup, analysis of agricultural products, and nutritional needs of farm animals.

Home Publications The Archivist No. 11 Casting the Die of Agricultural History by Norman M. Willis page 1 of 4 Agriculture occupies an important place in Canada's medallic history. Conversely, Canada's medallic heritage illuminates an important aspect of Canada's agricultural evolution. Other countries have plenty of agricultural medals too, but where there is a longer and stronger medallic tradition, as in Europe, agricultural medals are relatively less significant. Their special place in Canada is explained by a particular combination of historic circumstances. Prosperity brings the medal to Canada About 1850, eastern Canada emerged from the early pioneering stage of its development. At the same time, the medal was achieving a new degree of popularity in Europe, as it came increasingly under the auspices of the prosperous bourgeoisie. Canada was ready to follow this trend. Before this time, Canadians had been too preoccupied with basic practical tasks to have much thought for such cultural trappings as the medal. Now, Canada had a newly prosperous middle class, with the means and the inclination to adopt the medal and other sorts of refinements favoured by its counterpart in the Old World. The difference here was that Canada's affluent middle class remained associated with its agricultural base, whereas the rising Europeans derived their wealth more from industry. The consequence was that the medal, when it came into favour in Canada, was naturally much utilized for the promotion of agriculture.

Home Publications The Archivist Casting the Die of Agriculture History No. 11 Casting the Die of Agricultural History by Norman M. Willis page 2 of 4 Heyday of the agricultural medal The heyday of the medal, from about 1850 to the coming of the First World War in 1914, coincided with the heyday of the agricultural fair in Canada. The National Medal Collection at the National Archives of Canada contains a wide range of agricultural medals, especially from this period. The earliest Canadian agricultural medal was also the first medal struck on purely Canadian initiative, for a purely Canadian purpose. It was half a century ahead of the more general trend in the country. The National Medal Collection boasts the unique known surviving specimen of this silver medal, an award of the Society for Promoting Agriculture in Nova Scotia. This society was founded in 1789, and the medal was apparently struck in 1791 for award in 1792. It was ordered from England, but the maker's name is not recorded. Silver medal awarded for the best two-year-old horse at Vonda Fair, Saskatchewan, 1912 (MFN-005533). Typical aspects of Canada's agricultural medals Two aspects of the early Nova Scotian medal were to be typical for Canada's agricultural medals generally. These were the aspiration to dignify farming through medals, to put it on a par with the glamorous profession of arms, and the preference for the pictorial symbolization of agriculture through the portrayal of farm tools, farm animals or general farm scenes, rather than through the traditional medallic convention of allegorical figures derived from ancient mythology.

Longest serving Chairman: Complete List of Past Chairmen Center for Legislative Archives. Establishment of the Committee Thus the Committee on Agriculture was created on May 3, 1820. The population of the country was about 9 million and there were 213 Representatives in the House. Seven of these Representatives, under the chairmanship of Thomas Forrest, of Pennsylvania, were assigned to the new committee. Six other States were represented in this group: Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia. (The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry was founded December 9, 1825.) Mr. Lewis Williams, a Representative from Surrey County, N.C., elected to the 14th and 13 succeeding Congresses, and known as the "Father of the House," was the sponsor of the resolution proposing a Committee on Agriculture, and at the time of its introduction, April 29, 1820, he had this to say on the floor of the House:
